Gypsy and Traveller Law Reform Project
|
http://www.travellerslaw.org.uk/ |
Following the disbanding of the Gypsy and Traveller Law Reform Coalition (G&TLRC) in April 2006, Friends Families and Travellers, The Gypsy Council, The Irish Traveller Movement and the London Gypsy and Traveller Unit wanted to establish a way of continuing the valuable work on law reform achieved by the Coalition. These four organisations agreed to set up the Traveller Law Reform Project. They have since been joined by the Canterbury Gypsy Support Group.
This project will keep the aims of the G&TLRC – to bring about positive changes in the law in relation to the rights and needs of all the Gypsy and Traveller communities – and will monitor the implementation of current legislation. |
